this is my 2nd day back at work.
and i'm not loving it. not much.
i received a little "welcome back" note from my roommates, and discovered a birthday card and 3 bags of potato chips on my table from one of my ex-students. it was a very sweet gesture. :)
anyway, the 1st thing i did was to spend half the day clearing out my desk - that meant discarding previous terms' assessments and test papers, and other unwanted materials. actually, i was amazed not to find dead insects or vermin under the piles of papers. i brought a packet of baby wipes to clean up my dusty desk. my work station's less cluttered now although the hub will still shake his head in disapproval.
his standards for cleanliness and tidiness are too high for me. (which is another reason why i'd make a terrible homemaker. i'm too much of a slob to be the perfect cleaning machine.)
thankfully, there's a small room i can use to express milk for baby wei. i used the room twice yesterday, in the space of 4 hours.
yesterday was a busy busy day, and i even skipped lunch even though i grabbed an oatmeal cookie, curry puff and a slice of swiss roll to starve off hunger pangs.
my teaching will resume FULL FORCE next week - a full load of 20 hours. the timetable's crappy though. i have back-to-back classes for 4 hours on tuesdays and fridays, which is going to be challenging for me to pump milk. not much of a choice but to bear with it as i have 5 more weeks to complete before the term ends.
*sigh*
it's almost noon time and i think i've to prepare baby wei's meal...
